"Dad!"
Lydia was not sure what to say which could stop her father from killing Kayden. It was simply impossible upon seeing how Coulter was dead set in making the situation worse than ever. He had no intentions of leaving Kayden alive or letting him out of the water bubble.
"Leave him, dad. You will kill him this way."
Lydia became worried about Kayden and leaped towards her father acknowledging that she had to stop him all by herself. The vampiress was sure that Coulter will never hold back now from murdering Kayden. He had already shown the utter proof to Lydia that her mate was an incapable vampire.
Coulter only wanted to show her that Kayden was not a worthy match for her, actually he was not even a match for her at all. But after Kayden did not even bother to help himself during the entrapment in the water bubble, it disappointed Coulter. Not that he had any bit of hope from him but rather the disappointment was overwhelming.
"Leave him? Hah, why? Are you afraid that he can't even protect himself?"
Coulter snapped back at his daughter when Lydia approached him and tugged at his arm. She had no clue that her worst hunch will come true like this, Lydia did not want to believe that whatever Medusa said was true. Kayden was unable to protect himself even though the water element was considered the weakest one.
The chief was AB negative blood group which possessed water element. Although every element had its own classifications and powers. But Coulter was a weak vampire compared to others who possessed the powerful elements. He grinned at Lydia assuming she would say something to convince him about Kayden.
"Come on, dad! Don't be like that. Stop it!"
Lydia clenched her palms into fists as her skin began to ooze sparks which soon lit into a bright burning fire in her palms. Coulter could see rage and determination to protect Kayden in her eyes. He did not intend to drag the matter anymore which could result into a bad ending.
He retreated his hand and the water bubble burst, the pool water spilled on the floor. Lydia rushed towards Kayden who also fell down, but she caught his head before he could bang it against the marbled floor. However Coulter exited the lounge right after the incident happened.
Lydia immediately called out to the staff as they helped to pick up Kayden. He was brought to Lydia's room and laid on the bed, he was all wet and unconscious by now. Although she could hear his heart beating in her ears, justifying he was alive and still breathing.
'Where am I? Is this some kind of hospital?'
After some time Kayden woke up and searched for Lydia who was nowhere to be seen in the room. He looked around panicking and with a spinning head Kayden laid back in the bed. It was the moment when a mysterious voice appeared in his head answering the boy.
[Why didn't you summon me? Did you not like the experience of the power?]
The voice in his head seemed to know a lot more about him the way it conversed with Kayden. However on the outside it scared him because of many reasons. Only Kayden was able to hear the voice, and he knew it since the beginning. It all started when he accidentally hurt Jones when he was 12 years old.
It appeared like a huge blow of power from his body which sent Jones flying. The old vampire ended up severely injured and burnt for some reason. The last time Kayden felt that feeling and heard the voice it was the moment when Jack was killed.
Kayden knew that it the fault of the particular voice which provoked him, and he was forced to do something which was beyond his control. He knew that whenever he heard that voice his powers went out of control.
"Who is this?"
Kayden immediately sat with a fearful gaze, he had never experienced something like that. Being in the black void the only thing he sensed was a sudden yet immense surge of power in his body. His vision had become blank since Kayden found himself stuck within an endless blackness.
"Who is talking?"
He looked around while speaking in a shallow voice, so if there was someone in the room then they would not think he was mad. Or perhaps he lost a screw or two after getting beaten by Coulter. Whereas Lydia had gone on a round to figure out why her father took that reckless decision.
[It doesn't matter who am I kid. I'm just here to ensure that you experience the victory, achieve the heights and slaughter the evil.]
Kayden could not understand what the voice meant by the last part, since he was the evil himself for using literally everyone around him. And considering his mild revolt against his own people was a threat to the vampires. As per Jack's murder case.
"From where are you speaking? Come in front of me, why are you hiding?"
He demanded the presence of the speaker since hearing just only the voice made the whole damned scene appear horrific. Kayden had only encountered Medusa and Malcolm as his partners in crime, but he believed that other kinds of supernatural existed too.
But ghosts were an exception since its been ages anybody has ever seen one, people never spotted any celestial creature in a long time. It would definitely be a wonder if Kayden would have been talking to one at that moment.
[Haha, you sure are an impatient host. Interesting! It appears I have chosen the right vessel during your birth.]
No wonder Coulter was suspicious of him and wanted to keep Kayden right under his supervision. It seemed he had more mystery to himself than he could possibly imagine. Kayden tried to rub his eyes hoping his vision could become clear but he appeared to be stuck there.
